He is constantly in recording studios; next year his third complete recording of Beethoven's symphonies will be released. Then there are the hours spent in film labs working on prints or video tapes of his concert and operatic productions. When he is not filming operas, he is conducting them at the Salzburg Easter Music Festival...
